As it turns out, it wasn't a Tottenham curse but a Harry Kane curse. Between 2014/15 and 2022/23, when Kane played for Spurs, his team had, on average, 0 titles per season. Meanwhile Bayern Munich had on average 1.33 titles per season in that timeframe (9 league titles, 2 cups, 1 champions league). Since Kane left Tottenham for Bayern both teams now stand at 0.5 titles per season, with Tottenham up by 0.5 and Bayern down by 0.83. Therefore, having Kane in your team seems to reduce your title chances.
He literally js won a trophy tho (technically a plate, but still a trophy nevertheless) Must've js been a Kane at Spurs curse, a toxic relationship, wonder how he would've done at Arsenal.
My point was (admittedly as a bit of a joke) that Bayern won significantly fewer titles than they did before Kane arrived while Spurs won a title after he left.
